If it was true love...?

Of course. I'm an atheist, and I have never dated another atheist. I've dated Jews, Muslims, Christians....if I'd have loved any of them enough to marry them, I would have. Religion was never a factor in our relationships. We all just did our own thing.

I will be doing exactly that in roughly 6 months. Difference of religion or belief has never been a problem for us. In about 2 weeks we will have been together for 3 years.

I did. Although I have a wonderful marriage and a fantastic husband, I would not do it again. Don't get me wrong, my husband is the most honest, ethical, moral, loving, giving, strong man I have ever met. I love him more than I could say. Our differences in religion don't really cause any havoc in our relationship. The problem comes down to when there are problems. I cannot turn to my husband and say "let's pray about this". We cannot go to church together. It is interesting to note, however, that my husband is still the head of our household. I trust in Christ Jesus to guide my husband's decisions, even though he is not a Christian.

no. It's unequally yoked. I believe just because you love someone does not mean you can live together or be married. I believe the picture of marriage is far bigger than love alone. Love is a must. But that person must also be your soul mate. How can that person be your soul mate if your soul beliefs are different. I know it's done. I don't understand it. I believe when children are in the picture it can get even more complicated.

In my case, I am atheist and my wife is catholic(20 years of marriage) we don't discuss any religion topic in home it is not necessary and we live like any other family there are many things to take care about that there is no space for discussions about beliefs.

I am Catholic and my husband is Church of Christ. We do not fight about religion. We discuss the differences in our beliefs from time to time, but we don't fight about it. We agreed before we married that the kids would go to church with me because he doesn't practice his religion like I do. I wish we could go to church and worship together and maybe someday we will, but I don't pressure him and he doesn't pressure me.

Although religion is important, true love is more important. It also makes you more well rounded.

In my husband's and my case, we didn't start out in the same spot spiritually but we ended up in the same spot. He kind of follows my lead in spiritual matters.
But anyone else, no, I wouldn't marry someone drastically different from me.

Nope. I try as hard as I can to follow the Bible and that's one of the things it says not to do. In order to avoid this, I don't get romantically involved with someone of a different religion.
